Chapter 1382 - N-100 Power Armor (1/2)

Inside the Sixth Street Inner Circle, in the Near Street Restaurant.

Although it was the property of the Zhao Group, there were rumors that the General himself had a lot of shares in it. Because the restaurant was in the most prosperous area of Sixth Street, and it always received the freshest ingredients, this restaurant had naturally become the darling of the upper class. Even survivors in the far south had occasionally heard of its good name.

In this era where even humans were more or less mutated, NAC somehow obtained unmutated prawns and started aquaculture in the radiation-free Garden of Eden. This type of crystal-clear river prawn was delicious, and it immediately became sought after by the upper class once it was made available, and even became a topic of discussion with the Sixth Street.

But now, a giant plate of the expensive river prawns was placed on the table, sprinkled with chili oil, garlic, and spices, and the attractive fragrance could be smelt from far away. From this dish alone, it was easy to tell the extraordinary status of these diners.

They were key members of the NAC military government system, capitalists from the Sixth Street or the Hangzhou Merchants Association, or the leaders of the chambers of commerce and merchant traders from other regions.

But these people were obviously very low-key and dined in a private suite. If they were the new rich from the different colonies or from the South, they would definitely choose the most conspicuous spot of the restaurant to ensure everyone in the restaurant noticed their lavishness.

“Haha, congratulations to Captain Zheng for your promotion!”

“Congratulations! Congratulations! Remember to bring back some souvenirs from North America!”

“RIGHT! I heard that the mud crab roe there are white, just like the breasts of the blondes there.”

“No blondes okay? Don’t be so vulgar! Remember that General told us last time? You need to be more educated and civilized! Can’t you just say as white as milk…burp…”

“Hahaha, captain, who do you think is more educated?”

The suite was full of joy and chatter.

A few burly men sat around the table, grinning and joking, as they took turns toasting the boss who was sitting at the top of the table. Although their tone was respectful, there was a hint of teasing and joking mixed in.

These jokers were no one else but the guards under Jiang Chen’s command.

The former captain Lu Fan was promoted to the head of the Fourth Division and was now stationed in Shangjing, guarding the northern border of the NAC. The current captain was the former deputy captain Zheng Shanhe. The NAC had just gone through a round of army expansion, and there were rumors about the establishment of the Fifth Division. Based on NAC’s usual tradition, the most likely division commander would come from the General’s Guards.

It was originally something to be happy about, but at this moment, Captain Zheng looked a bit concerned.

Why?

Naturally because of that North American colony!

Although the wind of the expedition had not been let out, it was no secret that NAC was preparing to send troops to North America. The entire North American colony had lost contact with NAC, and all kinds of bizarre rumors began to spread in the Sixth Street.

It would be not a surprise if the General launched another conquest of his own, which meant the accompanying captain would be promoted. Regardless of whether or not the newly formed division would be called the Fifth Division or NAC North American Division, it would definitely not be able to come back with General Jiang.

“What congratulations, if anyone of you makes fun of me again, I will personally bring you to the colony.” Zheng Shanhe’s eyes widened, and the soldiers that were about to toast again immediately pulled back their cups that were in the air, and instead, downed their drinks.

Everyone enjoyed the Sixth Street. Except for those who couldn’t obtain a footing in the Sixth Street, no one chose to go to the colony.

People wouldn’t even leave if they got promoted!

“Captain Lu can return home every once in a while. If I go to North America, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back once in a few years.” After Zheng Shanhe took a swig of the beer, he let out a sigh, felt the coldness that slid down his throat, and said.

Although he complained, he didn’t feel any dissatisfaction.

But whenever he thought of his newly married wife, he felt depressed.

“Captain rest assured,” a subordinate stood up, raised his glass, and said solemnly, “You, like Captain Li and Captain Lu, will always be our captain! When you are away, the brothers will help you take care of your family.”

“That’s right! We are here!”

“Who dares to bother my sister-in-law, I will break his legs!”

Several other guards also stood up and raised their glass.

After all, they were all old men that conquered with the General for many years. Although they loved to joke around, their friendship was impeccable.

“Please and thank you.” With a sigh, Zheng Shanhe raised his glass.

After a glass of beer, everyone sat down.

Just when Zheng Shanhe was about to say something, the clear reminder sound echoed.
